ive been meaning to write this post - but i keep getting sidetracked - fwiw: here are my raw notes cos i prolly wont get around to it. ive been gonna do it for a week but unfortunately i keep getting caught up in other stuff. remember the olden days when i used to be able to rant adnauseum? ahhhh, da good old daze.

anywaze - here are my notes - one day i might try to put them into something cohesive/coherent. heres the raw bits in the interim anyway...

------------

ok, time for a rant. this one about bulge-gate, and particularly the tricks used to discredit the story, and whether/which other stories get similarly treated,

this is of course triggered by the FAIR story about how the nytimes killed the story

ghandi "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win."

there a few things i wanna consider - but the main issue is the way the egadmin shouted 'CONSPIRACY' to discredit the story - and the lengths they went to to discredit the story

Ken Mehlman, Bush campaign manager:
"The president is an alien. You heard it here first. The president is an alien. Seriously, I didn't see it, I didn't pay attention to it, I was amused to hear that someone thought it was a transmitter."

Jeff Greenfield, CNN senior commentator: "I don't want to go there. That's 'Area 51' kind of stuff. Did you see Bush's performance? If he was getting help, a Democrat must have been on the other end."

"Bush/Cheney campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel said it was all ridiculous, and mentioned something about Elvis moderating the debates. "

i couldnt but notice the similarity between the above and the responses to the boxer rebellion on certification day... most obviously, but not limited to, tomdelays xfiles-wing reference.

FWIW - a search for 'conspiracy' at wotisitgood4 comes up with (only) 3 refs - the election, 911, and hillary's 'vastritewing' thingy (if only she had known then what we know now), altho i wouldnt be surprised to see if they have pulled this shit elsewhere. (btw - i think the google thing on my blog is miserable - or maybe i didnt write nearly as many clever things as i thought i had)

As Lindorff says: "This story was saying that he probably cheated, and it was saying that he definitely lied, because that picture has something under his jacket, and he was saying it was an ill-fitting suit... It's not conclusive what the thing is, but it sure as hell is conclusive that the president lied." http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000796884

you might remember the lengths they went to - with fauxnews doing all those bits about the tailor - even admitting that dearleader had a french tailor (named ' Georges de Paris' no less!) (who was paid dogknowswhat to tell everyone that he was a bad tailor) - and then the bit that it wasnt actually the suit, but a crumpled shirt underneath and all the rest of it. and if i remember there was even a bit where they got rove on camera joking about channeling, and then there were all the jokes about how terrible blinky did in the debates, and therefore he couldnt have had any help etc etc.

if we go back a step, it was obvious that the debates were gonna be a real weak spot in blinkys campaign - remember my astonishment when consigliere baker agreed to do three interviews - enough rope, and all that. anyways, another clause was specifically that there be no camera shots from behind, which seems like a pretty odd thing to wanna include... anyways, faux (!) for some reason didnt like that rule, and didnt abide (praps they learnt something from their sports coverage or whatever)

its still not obvious why baker agreed to do 3 interviews - perhaps they simply figured that having 60m people watching blinky was pretty good media - and if they were channelling to him, he couldnt stuff things up too badly. or maybe they figured that the longer they had jonk out there, the more likely he'd have a gore moment - rolling his eyes, or standing over blinky or whatever, and that it wasnt the debate that mattered, so much as the spinalley/deceptionlane (thnx jons) battle - which they were confident they could win - and they could replay jonk fuckups endlessly (cf the deanscream) and ultimately win - praps like they did with jonks marycheney moment. maybe they were confident that the wire would work sufficiently well cos theyd used it frequently in the past and hadnt ever had probs with it. (dog knows where the wire was when blinky was asked in a press conference if he had ever made any mistakes). anyways - i dont really have a clue why there were 3 debates (i actually thought theyd find a way to cancel the 3rd) - but i digress.


"G W Bush, speaking before the General Assembly of the UN on Nov. 10th 2001, literally mentioned this tool:
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th, malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty.""

* chigsuntimes headline "Some conspiracy theorists elect to ignore the truth" - somehow mentions the moonlanding and jfk and others but doesnt mention the recounts or the GAO. and cutely wonders how the media could be ignoring vfraud given that they are eliteliberalmedia. stoppeth protestething http://www.suntimes.com/output/roeper/cst-nws-roep30.html

"According to executive editor Bill Keller, “In the end, nobody, including the scientist who brought it up, could take the story beyond speculation. In the crush of election-finale stories, it died a quiet, unlamented death.”" unlamented...

Bush/Cheney campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel said it was all ridiculous, and mentioned something about Elvis moderating the debates.
http://bushwired.blogspot.com/2004/11/bulge-history-story.html

"On one sideline row during the campaign, Rove said the president's tailor was devastated about a controversy over a box-shaped bulge in Bush's back that television cameras captured during the first debate. The mysterious bulge spawned speculation that Bush aides were feeding the president advice secretly through a radio receiver tucked under his suit jacket.
"Nothing was under his jacket," Rove said.
"The poor tailor … he's an awfully nice fellow, he's a rather flamboyant dude," Rove said. "I'm not going to use his name, but he's just he's horrified. And, you know, it's there was nothing there."" http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=233910
